One Direction and Five Seconds of Summer Doctor Imagines and Sickfics

Meningitis

Esther's POV:

I was tossing around my bed, unable to fall asleep. I had just finished some school work when I felt a little headache coming. But here I am now at 3 am with throbbing head and blurry vision.

I stand up and place my hand on my head, trying to stop the pain. I walk out of the room towards my brother's room, NIALL written with big black and white letters on his door.

I smile slightly when I see him snuggled up with his blankets. I decide not to bother him so I just lay beside him, again trying to fall asleep.

"Est? What's wrong?" Niall asks thought his sleep and turns slightly towards me.

"My head hurts a little," I tell him and he wakes up automatically.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" He asked sternly and sits up, placing his hand on my forehead. "You have a fever."

"It wasn't this bad before and you were too cute to wake." I signed a looked down at my feet.

"Oh, baby..." Niall says back to me, standing up to grab a thermometer.

I lay back down in the same time and snuggle with his covers to get warm.

"Turn over" he softly whispers and puts a thermometer into my ear.

"Baby, you have a bad fever. 39.3 C (102.7) If it's getting worse I have to take you to the clinic..."

"No...." I mumbled and looked him with watery eyes.

You see, my brother is a doctor and when it comes to my health, he is always overprotective. I sometimes hate his profession but it's actually really good to have someone who takes care of you.

"We will see in the morning. You can sleep here but you have to take these." He says signing and gives me some medicine. I'm not sure what though.

I take them, drink some water and then snuggle closer to his warm body.

"I love you, baby." He says but I don't reply him as I'm already almost asleep.

***

I woke up, confused and alone. Niall was missing but everything was still dark and the moon was shining in the sky.

"Niall? Where are you?" I whispered and sat up. My headache was still bothering me but my brother was the main task right now.

I was listening for a moment but when I didn't get an answer, I wrapped covers around myself and stood up. The room was awfully cold - Even thought all three covers that were around me.

I shook off the feeling and walked out of the room, shivering and tired.

"Niall?" I tried again but again no reply. I was getting worried but then I saw him.

He was carrying our spare electric heater and smiled when he saw me.

"Hey princess. What's wrong?"

"You were missing."

"I was just looking for this heater. You were shivering like crazy even when you were under all these covers and next to me. I thought it would help." He replied and but the heater down. "Let's get you back to bed. I will be by your side in a sec."

"Okay," I said with a tired voice and just relaxed on the bed while he was setting it up.

"How are you feeling?" He asked, noticing that I haven't fallen asleep yet.

"Not much better but I will live." I smiled and curled up into a ball since my headache was getting slightly worse.

"I hate seeing my baby so bad..." Niall said with a sad voice and laid next to me. "I will take you to the clinic when we wake up." He whispered into my ear before I fell back asleep.
